[ It's early in the day that this anonymous message appears. Unlike most, Yoshimitsu isn't too keen about speaking to the public at large. It's too daunting for his liking but for once, he does so. He's not seeking the meaning of life or anything dire but he's seeking something just as important. ]

It's far too easy to lose yourself here but how does one stay true while wearing many masks?

[ Cryptic, no? There's a reason for that. ]

Which mask do you wear? Which mask do you destroy? Do you remain true or do you tell more lies?

It's far too easy to grow comfortable here. Perhaps none of us know shame.

As someone who was once chosen by the gods to love the people, I never afforded wearing a mask.

The love I feel for another person, whoever they are, is true. Every single fragment of it.

[ Ah, it's Marie! He immediately goes to her message after telling one of those other anons to go right to hell. Honestly, some of these folks are quite bothersome. ]

How admirable! I've come to expect the best of you, Marie.

[ Yes, this anon knows you, Marie! Who could he be~ ]

Yet how does one stay true to thyself among such distractions? This is where I falter. I almost feel as I should be punished for forgetting what I am in favor of such carnal desires.

Perhaps this shame is only felt by a remote few.

[ Indeed, who could this be! She thinks the anon's familiarity is off, but she won't delay her reply because of that. It's rude to make one wait on the internet! ]

I do not personally know you, monsieur anonymous, and I believe you are the one who knows thyself more than anyone else, but the human mind is a trickster, hiding parts of your identity that do not come to life until a situation is triggered. Those distractions you speak of are either resulted from the Moon influencing you, or without outside influence, something you had actually craved but you were forced to suppress for various reasons. People are not always aware of their own desires until they are presented with a situation that causes them to break through the surface.

There is a chance you are still being yourself, even while falling into those carnal desires, and you're just not yet aware of it.
